    I should appreciate whatever help you may be able to offer with the
following strange troff problem.
    When I use the .TC macro to produce the table of contents with the
mm macros, it redefines the bottom-of-page string }b with the command
     .ds}b ''- \\\\n(;g -''
where the register ;g is used for the page number and is set to print in
lowercase Roman numerals.  The only unusual feature is that I have set
the environment (2) to print in bold; other than that, it is a normal
mm set up.  When the first two pages print, the page number in the
footer is spread far too wide, meaning that the page number looks like
"-     i     -" or like "-     i   i     -" centered in the middle of
the page.  For page three, the spacing looks normal (something like
"- iii -").  (I have only three pages of table of contents, so I don't
know what it would do on subsequent pages).
     Any ideas?
     Thanks -
